The appeals court had temporarily dismissed class-action claims that PNC Bank made unauthorized withdrawals from a borrower's deposit accounts to cover payments on a home equity line of credit.

The CFPB and the Federal Trade Commission weighed in with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing that a lower court ruling would hurt the enforceability of the Military Lending Act.

Supreme Court grants extension for response to bureau appeal; CFPB slams tenant background checks; CFPB, NY AG penalize 9/11 fraudster; CFPB files enforcement action for “fake” CD accounts.

The bureau, which is speeding things up to make sure the case is decided by June, says the Fifth Circuit decision contradicts the Constitution, historical practice, and case law.

LoanCare agrees to pay $4.5 million to settle a class-action suit centered on whether “convenience” fees for paying by phone or online are allowed in West Virginia. Meanwhile, the bureau is making servicers refund fees for paying by phone. 

Wells Fargo and the CFPB are reportedly negotiating over violations in several lines of business at the megabank. Separately, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is continuing her effort to draw attention to fraudulent instant payments. 

Some of the traits of companies that score well in examiners’ reviews of compliance management systems: top executives that are actively involved in compliance, dynamic policies and procedures, and quick, thorough investigations into consumer gripes. 

The bureau alleged that the servicer misled consumers about CARES Act forbearance and misreported information to credit agencies. Carrington says the bureau is not living up to its promise to be “flexible” with servicers who meant well. 

The bureau said tenant-screening reports often contain “wrong, misleading, or old” information and that renters have little recourse.

Last month’s appeals court decision that the CFPB’s funding structure is unconstitutional has created a lot of uncertainty.
